Today we showcase our favorite examples of creative umbrella designs.
Electric Umbrella
The Electric Umbrella will glow with many pinpoints of light. Carry the sun and the stars with you at night! Perfect for night-time strolls through the countryside or just being silly. And it’s dimmer adjustable so you can set how bright you want to be – anywhere from dim ambient light for strolling in the dark to carrying your own portable supernova beacon of light!
Tandem Umbrella
An umbrella built for two.
Plumo Pearlised Umbrella
Pagoda shaped umbrella in a slightly shimmering, light taupe colour with shiny black handle and long tassel. Suitable for rain and sun.
Lightsaber Umbrella
Cool umbrella for any Star Wars fan.
Polite Umbrella
Polite Umbrella is a shrinkable umbrella that enables users to morph its shape in order to reduce occupied space and to increase user maneuverability. Users can easily adjust their umbrellas anytime by pulling a handle so that they can protect themselves from harsh winds or bumping into others.
Monopoly Umbrella
Monopoly Deluxe ‘Walker’ Umbrella or Monopoly Mini Folding Umbrella.
The Brelli Umbrella
The World’s first 100% biodegradable umbrella, made with a unique biodegradable plastic canopy and bamboo.
Umbuster Umbrella
The Umbuster is an Umbrella with an ergonomically positioned knuckle duster handle configuration.
Pileus The Internet Umbrella
Pileus is an umbrella connected to the Internet to make walking in rainy days fun. Pileus has a large screen on the top surface, a built-in camera, a motion sensor, GPS, and a digital compass, and it provides two main functions; A Social Photo-sharing and A 3D Map Navigation.

interesting concept with the pileus…but honestly, is it such a great idea to walk across the street staring into your umbrella’s computer screen? slightly distracting, I would think…Otherwise these are all very creative and I love the shrinking,electric and tandem umbrelas – but I wonder how you close the tandem umbrella?!!

The Brelli is hardly the World’s First 100% biodegradable umbrella. People were making umbrellas out of natural materials long before the modern metal and plastic ones were around.
That said, it is probably the first 100% biodegradable umbrella that you can sell to people for $62.

It proves that as long as there is some kind of surface, there is the internet. This may come in handy where it rains all the time. And there are places like that. Very distracting too. It makes me think of that Wall-E movie where everybody is fat in the future and they ride around in air chairs with the internet displayed right in front of their faces on a see-through surface.
As for me, it’s not of much use. I never use an umbrella.

To Daniel above,
I’ve seen that umbrella online before. It looks like you’re giving God the finger.
